Police are hunting an attacker dressed as a Japanese ghost - who smears poo and urine over the front door of woman it claims is a 'homewrecking mistress'.

Like something out of a Japanese horror movie a woman has been repeatedly targeted by a ghostly figure in a white sheet , long black-haired wig and eerie-looking white mask.

It even comes prepared with plastic bags on its feet, the faeces in little 'ready to smear' bags it can turn inside out - and on at least one occasion had an umbrella to protect its hair from the rain.

The victim - known only as Ms Yang - claims the whole thing has stemmed from a big misunderstanding.

The campaign began when she found a note outside her front door last January which accused her - she says wrongly - of breaking up someone else’s family.

Then for the last seven months Ms Yang has come home in to find all forms of waste rubbed into - or poured all over - her front door.

After it happened an 'unlucky' thirteenth time she says she is fed up with it.

As her building’s surveillance cameras are broken Ms Yang took matters into her own hands and bought her own CCTV camera to install outside her front door.

And eventually it recorded the unidentified person approaching her door and rubbing waste on it - although she didn't expect to see a 'ghost'.

Ms Yang believes it to be a man in fancy dress.

She has since handed the video evidence over to police who are now investigating the vandalism.

But it hasn't stopped the ghost from returning once more to cast its evil doings.

The most recently recorded footage once again shows the 'ghost' vandalise her property with the stinky substances.

The ghost even took time to vandalise the CCTV on its last apparition on July 25.

Police are now keeping a close watch on the property in an attempt to catch the 'ghost' in the act.
